Apple isn't happy about India's demand to upgrade older iPhones with USB-C::Apple has urged the Indian IT ministry to make changes to its single charger rules, as adding USB-C to older iPhone models will make it hard for Apple to meet production targets for India's manufacturing and export laws.

The big problem with zoning laws is it's far too difficult to get the zoning redefined.

There's a plot of land near me that's on a high speed road, It is an old residential plot but because of the road no one wants to live there. In the past when the houses were originally built it was a quiet road, but it's been upgraded over the years.

It'll be an excellent place for a small shop, and indeed a local shop in that area is desperately required, but because it's zoned as residential they can't build a shop there. No residential property is ever going to be built there, it's been abandoned for 20 years, if one was going to be built it would have been built by now.
